Prognostic screening in patients with low back pain (LBP) offers a practical approach to guiding clinical decisions. Whether screening is helpful in secondary care is unclear. This prospective cohort study in adults with LBP placed on outpatient clinic waiting lists, compared the performance of the short-form Orebro Musculoskeletal Pain Screening Questionnaire (OMPSQ), the PICKUP Tool (PICKUP) and the STarT Back Tool (SBT). We assessed predictive validity for outcome at 4-month follow-up, by calculating estimates of discrimination, calibration and overall performance.
